Doug, your paintings are gorgeous, beautifully sensitive - you have the touch!!!!!I didn't know that you injured your shoulder but I'm so glad it hasn't prevented you from painting and I hope, hope you are on the mend!!!Take care,Marcia

YAY!!! He's back!!!!These are beautiful and fresh and show a new excitement to be back at the easel.They are looser and show your passion stirring up. Bravo my friend! I sure have missed seeing your beautiful posts...thank you for keeping in touch always.

Just a guy!

Painting and creating art has always been a huge part of my life. From a young child with pads of typing paper to the present ... an older experienced dude with pads of watercolor paper. My entire work life was as a commercial artist at all levels of the pecking order.
I was born and partially raised on a farm and a small town.
Midwest roots except the winters seem to be colder these days. I'm a family guy with kids and grandkids.
Unfortunately I can be quite the procrastinator. Retirement does have it's drawbacks, but I can live with that one.
Thanks for stopping by and showing interest in my blog.
